    Awesome stuff, I owned Syndicate (on a CD with Wing Commander 2, Strike Commander and I THINK Ultima VIII on it too, anyone else? ) but could never get the sound to work, music only. time to get all nostalgic and persuade entire maps again

    That sounds right. That monster of a card the size of some mATX motherboards hehe..strange then I could never get sounds and voices to work, despite being brave enough at my young age to fiddle with the IRQ and DMA settings and extended memory...still remember the dos commandz if ive got a gun to my head...ah the good old days.

    That's not surprising, all the DOS games on Origin uses it, just like the GoG versions.
